Los Angeles City Attorney's Office

Los Angeles voters appear to have defeated City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto in a primary, with challengers Marissa Roy and John McKinney leading in early results. Feldstein Soto faces ethics controversies, including allegations of prioritizing donors over criminal cases, which she denies. Roy and McKinney have criticized her handling of homelessness and liability lawsuits.

Leaked LAPD records show officers involved in a June 2021 South Los Angeles fireworks explosion that destroyed a city block received only brief suspensions. The LAPD cited state law as a reason for withholding details, but investigative files were recently exposed online after a hack of the city attorney's office.

Hackers stole and leaked sensitive LAPD police documents, affecting a digital storage system in the city’s Attorney's Office. The World Leaks extortion gang is suspected of orchestrating the breach.
